BOTTLE-WRAPPER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 296,705, dated April 8, 1884.

Application led January 14. 1884. (No model.)

To MZ whom it may concern Be it known that we, JOsErn M. NovY and PETER HENRY,-residents of St. Louis, Misscale on the line 3 3 of Fig. l, and Fig. et a View showing portions of the Wrapper.

The same letters of reference denote the same parts.

This invention is an improvement in that' class of bottle-wrappers which are made from wood veneers. A

The improvement relates to the mode of forming the corrugation in the Wrapper.

A represents the improved Wrapper. It is made from a Wood veneer, and is of suitable height and length for encircling the bottle B, to which it is to be applied.

The corrugations a a a', in place of extendf ing directlyr across the Wrapper or diagonally across the Wrapper, are curved, and substantiall5T as represented in Fig. l-that is, the

3o curves of the various corrugations are all' has the shortest radius.

struck from the same center. The 'st corrugation, beginning at the corner c2, therefore The next corrugation has a longer radius, the third corrugation a still longer radius, and so on. The result of this is that the corrugations successively run in different directions, so 'far as their relation to the grain of the Wood is concerned, and in consequence of thisthe Wrapper is less liable to breakage in use. The grain of the wood is supposed to be indicated bythe straight lines as, Fig. 1.

Another advantage accruing from this mode of extending the corrugation is that when the Wrapper is placed around the bottle the corrugations at and toward the lapping ends of the wrapper are less liable to coincide.

The Wrapper is preferably re-enforced with textile fabric in the form of the strip C,whose ends c c are extended beyond the edges a* a? of the Wrapper to forni ties.

We claim- A Wood-Veneer bottle-wrapper having corrugations a. ce, extended in concentric curves,' as and for the purpose described.
